Overview: The Barnegat School Board meeting was marked by a mix of controversy over the Request for Proposals (RFP) process for Professional Services and moments of celebration for student achievements and community engagement. One notable issue arose from the board’s handling of the RFP for the board attorney, which led to a motion to table the vote due to concerns about transparency, potential conflicts of interest, and dissatisfaction with certain firms. Members discussed the roles of the board attorney, conflict attorney, and engineer, with some debate on the ethical implications of firm selections, especially regarding the representation of both the township committee and the school board.
